Au Eloquent Sermon. "He is not here but is ripen'' Luke 25:6-was th* theme of the eloquent, and beting Easter morn, very appropriate discourse deliv ered Ly the Kev E. M. Ste ?ru ri in the Pr Bbytcrian church I; st Sun day. The sermon was delivered with earnestness and tenderness befitting the occasion. Mr. Slew art has an ease and grace of mau uer and fluency of ppeech which olong with bis rare Dualities of mind and heort assure for him a bright and useful caner in the ministry. Peace Haven Sunday School. The Colliers coramuuity is pe culiarly blessed in having a build ing that was erected for and dedi cated to Sunday-school work ex clusively. The lamented Dr. Roi eit H. McKie conceived the idea of having such a building. In exe cuting his plans he was aided by othi-r gentlemen in the communi ty. The Sunday-school has had a marble tablet suitably inscribed that is to be placed upon the wall of the building in commemoration of the beloved Dr. McKie, who was for a long time teacher of tbe^Bible class. A flourishing Sunday sc'uol^ is now held in this building, with Mr. GUE ??dmunds as superinten dent, and Mr. J. B. Adams as Bi ble-class teacher. A Fair Proposition. The merchants, lawyers, doctors, in fact, every citizen who has the iutere6' of the town at heart, will 6ay patrouize homo merchants, home enterprises, deposit your money in home banks and never send a dollar out of town when it can be kept Lere. Thi6 policy per sued builds up towns ;the opposite, that of constantly sending money away, kills them. We ask you in all fairness to let this apply to your job printing. Th?mouey you pay tor it remains and is spsut in ridgefield. Themotto of thia of fice is "no satisfaction no pay." The Vegetable Garden. The garden should receive du? consideration at this season of the year. The corn cribs have grown smaller w'iile larger cotton-houses have been erected; the old ante bellum smoke-house with its dirt floor is so seldom seen that it is regarded as a curiosity, in fuel,the word istelf has almost bi corne ob solete. Shall wo see the family vegetable garden abandoned? If so we shall have tD enlarge our county poor bou**e. A well cared for grrden will, in ..urclimate, supply the table with seasonable vegetables every mouth in the yea.*,which will very mater ially.reduce the outlay for th* ev ery day necessities. Ono acre well fertilized and pla.:*.ed in vegeta bles, strawberries, raspberries,etc, will, aside from the real luxury afforded, be of greater profit than the net income of auy rive aerea ul-ad Lu *_h" Sold ?'rfM'a_._ Friends, neighbors, it you have been planting your gardens in cot ton or weeds, as some have doue, acknowledge your error by re claiming and rededicating the spot to the family veg&tabie gar den. Beautify Your Premises. The strangers that come wi'bin our gates torin their impressions of our tewn, to a g rea* extent, by the general appearance of what meets their oyes. Theso impres sions, favorable or unfavorable,are carried away with them. Homes that have a well kept front yard, set in beautiful flowers,evergreens and hedges, are not only a pleas ure to those w ho dwell within them, but adds to the attractiveness and beauty of the town. On the con trary, those that give evidence of indifference and neglect detract from the appearance of the com munity at 'arge. We do not wish to be per-onal or we could mention several very beautiful front yards in our town. Let's have more mod ele I after these. Beautify your premises. It is both a private and public duty. The beauly of town in the aggregate is augmented in proportion as the individual homes are made beautiful. With her natural advantages we can make Edgnfield a "sweet amiliug vil lage", "loveliest of the plain." The- Sham Court. A larga audience was antertaiued on last Friday evening in the S. C. C. I. chapel by the mock trial oi Larry Barry Merritt, alias Cadet Merritt, who was sued for $10,000 damages for breach of promise by Sallie Maria Gooding, alias Cadet Ellis, who was attired a;? a womau io the latest gewgaws of fashion. Judge Thames donned the ermine and the duties of sheriff were per formed by Ralph Jones. The plain tiff's attorneys were Huggins & Hardy; the defendant was repre sented by Callison & Scott. The complaint alleged that Lar ry Barry Merritt had not kept his promise to wed :Vliss Gooding on March 15tb, thereby causing her great mental anguish and disap pointment. The plea was set up in the answer that the plaintiff was no lady, being engaged to au other man at the time and desir ing to marry the defendant for bis money. The audience was kept in an up roar of laughter as the case pro gressed bringing to light the amus ing incidents of their courtship. The arguments of the youug bar risters to the jury were original and very creditable. The jury rendered the following verdict, that the plaintiff and the defend ant be required to marry in the presence of the court. Candidates should make a iiq'.e of what our Cold Spring correspon dent says with r?f?rence to the great number of young men in thu' section that have just attained their majoriiy-the voting tge. gtllti llinilillllUIII!!l!!l!!nH!l!1llflli!!li!![!l!lilll!l?

The most Spring-like scene that our eyes have fallen upon was the procession of the S. C. C. I girls as th'-y marched to church on last Sunday morning becomingly at-, tired iu their Summer uniforms. The many friends of Mrs. Susan B. Hill will regret to know thot sne has decided not to make Edge field her future home. She leave? this week to reside with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.Branson, of Cleora. We aro informed that Mr. L. S Sossamon will occupy ihe home of the lamented Dr. J. W. Hill till fall, after which time Mr. ami Mrs. J. H. Cantelou will make it their home. Thia valuable prop erty has become Mrs. Cantelou's by inheritance. Mr. B. Timmous has decided to locate in Edgefield permanently, having accepted a position at the Lynch drug Btore. Mr. Timmous is beloved and trusted by all Edge field and it is a source of great pleasure to his friends that he and his family are t~> remain among us. Those who have stock to feed should, by all means, plant sor ghum. It is conceded, by every one who has tried it, to be the cheapest and tbe best feed for stock wilh the exception of corn and oats. A patch of Early Am ber cane will prove invaluable to these who have but few oats and less corn. 1 Mr. Samuel Tannahill, a former Edgefiield man, a member of the firai of Day & Tannahill, of Au- ' gusta, accidentally fell from a step-ladder while getting some goods from a high shelf iu his store on labt Friday.

That Col.

Col. Darlington was greatly disappointed at uot finding Dr. Gwaltney in Edgefield. their warm friendship having been of many yoar3 duration. Om purpose of bia visit was to see his old school-mate and friend, Mr. Tho8. J. Adams,both of whom are alumni of Erjkiuecollege,Due West.
